Sometime last week I experienced my own share of police brutality…and no there was no use of excessive force, as the officer tried to douse me with a lot of verbal and psychological intimidation.

At this time, the race of the officer does not matter as I am not putting it in a racial envelope. This particular day, I would be located somewhere around downtown Houston, Tx with a couple of friends. After I must have driven the perimeter around 2 or 3 blocks for about 15mins, searching in vain for a parking spot, I would come back to get a spot adjacent to our intended hangout spot. Just like that.. See the elaboration! Ha-ha

Yes, just like that.

Scientists say that the human brain is the only brain of all species, that has the capacity to think in 3D. Ghen ghen! 3D Thinking!! What this means is only humans think in terms of past, present and future. This is why we can use our brains to interpret our lives in any way that we choose. We brainstorm and invent stuff, we imagine and create things. That’s how amazing you are. Sadly, not many people know this, and even fewer practice it.

Who we think we are is very important if we must succeed in life.The image of self is a key player in our thought process. What this means is that that over time, we become who or what we think we are. I’ll give you a few more quotes as proof to corroborate this truth.
